ETS 2/ATS Lighting Improvements v1 - BETA

This is Beta version of Lighting Improvements.
This version is just for testing and fixing new lighting improvements.
Currently there is no settings for performance/quality, dynamic weather/sky, default reflection system, night time/time of day. More features will be implemented in the future.

  •  There are some shaders not implemented yet, if you see any object/light missing in the game, probably thats why. I will implement missing shaders with updates

  • To get most natural colors, select sRGB colors from your monitor settings

Roadmap :

  • Fixing crash issues

  • Fixing invisible/incorrect objects/lights

  • Adding custom improved rain/snow (I will focus on improving overcast weather)

  • Adding seasons without changing assets (it will be hard to do without changing assets but I will try)

  • Adding dynamic weather/sky instead of using settings

  • I will try to add night lighting (streetlights, headlights etc requires a lot of change for new lighting)

  • I will try to add sunlighting without making it look bad (game doesn't use PBR textures so its hard to keep details with sunlight)

  • I will try to change vegetation assets and road textures (this is not hard but its boring and long process)

I am writing this comment for those who have problems with lighting - dark mirrors, speedometer, lighting, etc. Open the properties of ets/ats in steam, then select "beta versions", then you will see "beta testing". Then simply instead of the "no" option, select the version temporary_1.53 - 1.53.x for... and SURPRISE! Everything will work for you. But if you already had an account with saves, you will have to either create a new one or delete all saves.

Herr Löblich · March 27, 2025

Hey Snowy, first of all: I appreciate the effort and passion you put into your mod. But I wanted to give some honest feedback based on what I experienced while testing it in-depth. I made a video about it which has been watched be 6500 people now. A lot of comments made me rethink my first impression. The in-game comparison when toggling the mod on and off isn't really meaningful. The game, with high graphics settings and no lighting mod installed, actually looks significantly better than when your lighting mod is installed but deactivated. That’s because your mod forces the game into much lower visual settings when it’s present, even if the lighting is turned off. This makes the base game look artificially bad in the comparison. Technically, what your mod does isn’t much different from what post-processing tools like ReShade already do: It injects shader alteration via the dxgi.dll. The only difference is that you've hardcoded your setup into a custom dxgi.dll, which is why compatibility with ReShade is not possible unless workarounds are used. This method introduces a major issue everyone using ReShade has: The outcome heavily depends on the lighting situation. There’s no dynamic adaptation, which means the visuals can vary wildly depending on time of day and weather. Fixing this would require real-time adjustments in the dll based on lighting conditions – and frankly, I doubt that’s currently possible. This leads to what I find most problematic: The mod gives the impression that it completely overhauls the game’s graphics, but in reality, it removes dynamic lighting completely and replaces it with presets that simulate specific lighting conditions. This is why you have to break day-night cycles and why you need to disable the sun (because it interferes with the static look). And honestly, I'm quite convinced you know that too – all the "nobody needs the sun and it does not look realistic anyway" or "who even drives at night" stuff sounds more like a convenient excuse to hide the fact that your mod simply can't handle dynamic conditions. And I get it – dynamic lighting is a massive technical hurdle, and it’s probably never going to happen with this approach. But then just say that. Instead, you sell shader presets as if they're a groundbreaking overhaul, while quietly removing core features of the game. What bothers me most: You're asking for ongoing donations and imply that the mod will be paywalled otherwise, which – in combination with the lack of transparency – feels very close to emotional blackmail. Especially considering that you're changing people’s graphics settings without asking, without a warning, and without a way to revert them. That’s a pretty aggressive way to push a product that’s basically a locked ReShade config. The graphics settings stuff really bothers me: The plugin overrides the user’s in-game graphics settings without warning. There’s no backup, no info, and no way to undo the changes unless you saved your config manually before installing but why would you when you don't know that it is being overwritten. That can be a huge problem for players who spent time fine-tuning their settings for their specific hardware. Again, I see the potential in what you’re doing, but I think users deserve transparency about how the mod works, what it really does, and what side effects they can expect. Cheers!

S
Snowy Moon · March 27, 2025

You can never achieve similar realism with ReShade or anything like that without changing default lighting algorithm. This is a new lighting algorithm, this is not color adjustment or something like that. If you search "PBR lighting" you will see the difference between default lighting algorithm and PBR one. There is no problem for adding dynamic weather/sky/lighting but I shared early version to fix problems first. After everything fixed and ready I will add dynamic overcast weather with rain and maybe snow. But I'm not going to add sunlight because game textures are not PBR textures. PBR lighting is simulating real life lighting. When you don't have PBR textures and you add sunlight, you just lose all the details and it looks like shit. I already shared a video with sunlight before, dynamic lighting is not the problem, sunlight is the problem. Also to add night lighting like headlights/streetlights I need to make a lot of changes because default lighting is just simple color tint which I cannot use as source of light. I'm going to try it later. If you cannot see realistic result with this mod probably you monitor settings fucked up. You can't change 6-7 settings from game settings? Not even config. Then do not use the mod.

Good afternoon! I really like your modifications! I go to ets 2 and have been using your image smoothing mod for a long time, I was especially pleased with the opportunity to use the dlls 3.5 with the latest preset f via override dlss. So, I tested your mod in vr, it even works, the lighting changes, but unfortunately some other translucent image layer is superimposed on the image of each eye, which also blinks ( How difficult is it to fix it? I'm waiting for you to fix vr and come back again, it looks very cool and more realistic on a flat screen! Thanks for the work!

Is it just me or does the plugin override some graphicsettings which can't be changed manually even if i try (shadows, reflections etc.) ? I mean its not bad when the plugin works properly...i just noticed that. And ...if you done with it, we will no need a lightmod for ETS2/ATS no more right ? Because you all do this with shaders ? The start looks very promising of the plugin. Good work man :)

S
Snowy Moon · March 24, 2025

Yes, because its using custom rendering pipeline, there is no need to enable a lot of things. And I know people are going to make a lot of mistakes if I write them or show them, instead I just disabled them by changing config functions. My plan is improving lighting and assets (maybe) to get best possible result and you won't need these settings because it will be mostly custom systems

Love the graphics! I'm currently playing with GTX 1650 laptop and facing some problems: 1. I'm missing indicator light in the dashboard and beacon lights 2. The exterior fps is almost the same as the org graphic (~60fps), but half the fps once I go to interior view (30 fps). Hope you can improve the fps and maybe implementing some options to adjust the interior mirror quality since I prefer my mirror to be more performance over quality.

S
Snowy Moon · March 24, 2025

I will fix missing objects/lights. For mirrors, are you using low resolution? This version also applies TAA to mirrors so it should look good enough on lower resolution mirrors. Also can you check if you have high gpu usage inside cabin, maybe its cpu bottleneck

Duck 3D · March 24, 2025

refikhan balta · March 24, 2025

snowymoon, you have optimized the mode really well in the game, there is no stuttering at all, I play comfortably, the reflections are great, and the lighting is good, but it would be great if there is a wet road when it rains in the game, for example, like gta 5, I would like to see sun and shadow in the next update, and enable the lightning effect in the rain, if these things happen, it will look good in the game.

You really cooked SM 😏 I'm sure the beta will only get better overtime. As others have commented regarding "Reflections", settings revert back to default(50% and low).

Diego Tavares · March 23, 2025

First of all, I would like to thank Snowy Moon for the incredible work he has done! Report - ETS 2 (v1.53.3.19) - 03/23/2025: - It didn't open with Reshade active, I removed it from the folder and the game started; - When turning off TAA, Lighting gets stuck on a single sky; - With TAA active, the traffic lights don't work, you can't see their lights (red, yellow, green); - With TAA active, it doesn't get dark, even at midnight, it only gets dark when TAA is disabled; - When TAA is disabled, the traffic light lights are visible, regardless of the time of day; - Significant FPS drop with Lighting and TAA active (40 FPS), with TAA disabled (night), the FPS is around 100 FPS (with vsync disabled and FPS unlocked); - Even changing the game's video settings, they return to what they were, I believe this mod is doing this. Some other information: I tested with all AMD filters disabled; I used a profile without mods; I reset the config (I activated only the console and developer for the tests); Truck tested: DAF XF Euro 6. My configuration: AMD Ryzen 5 4500 16GB Ram RX 6600 8 GB

And I could see no traffic lights glowing in any city I went thru. And I did read no night and day yet, but that's not a big deal. Keep up the good work, and no I am not complaining, just helping with the debugging, :)

LoyalRo · March 23, 2025

Hi Snowy, i just downloaded your mod, and it's truly amazing. Congrats ! The vegetation and motion blur, are amazing! Although i have some feedback and suggestions for you to keep in mind for fixes : - reflections on trailers and trucks, are too high and overexposed : https://i.imgur.com/JSwClZX.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/eAEJ5E1.jpeg - if i disable on the menu, the sky goes black : https://i.imgur.com/B74970M.png https://i.imgur.com/BD4qcWt.png - if i choose DLSS performance rev2, the game will stutter at 1-2 fps (i have RTX 3070). The fps will rise from DLSS Quality rev.2 and up. - the skies are too overexposed : https://i.imgur.com/JTki4kL.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/Nf38ijT.png - the speedometer lights, does not work with this mod. On my MP4 actros with this mod https://www.cmi-industries.com/2022/05/cmi-mp4-interior-bundle.html Example no light from speedometers : https://i.imgur.com/bsaFroL.jpeg - same example with Scania R2009, but with permanent lights on, even if i turn to 0 the lights. - reshade does not open in-game, although i followed the instructions, here is my screenshoot : https://i.imgur.com/UBYLBDb.jpeg - the interior in the cabin is overexposed in terms of lighting In the future, were can we write a feedback ? Thank you and keep up this amazing and unique mod! Can't wait to see in the future, those fixes and PBR textures. Will costs you some money but don't worry, the community will support your mod because we haven't seen this kind of technology on ETS2 or ATS never so this project must continue to be better and better.

NiamhFox · March 23, 2025

It looks very good, it feels like I actually want to play the game (after 3k hours between ats and ets2 im bored of the same clunky look). I haven't had crash issues maybe because the .cfg file reset itself and I had to redo all graphic settings which is good. On performance side I noticed a 10% more gpu usage (playing on RTX 3060 2k and 200% scaling, FXAA enabled DLAA) but 0 Latency. This is going to the right direction and I can see a bright future of the mod, however I understand doing this by all yourself can be boring and frustrating after a while. I hope SCS does really consider to hire you, they hired less talented modders as devs (my opinion), the problem is they do not care that much about the graphic side, they care about mapping (I can understand the business side of it). Keep up the great work, wish you the best.
